Chicago and Colorado Square Off in Battle of Potent Offenses Wednesday Night

Chicago and Colorado Square Off in Battle of Potent Offenses Wednesday Night

Avalanche sport highest point total since Dec. 31

Since December 31, the Avalanche have sported the highest point total in the NHL, which has catapulted them to one of the top spots in the Western Conference. They are still fighting for the highest point total in the league, which would give them the President’s Trophy. A fourth win in five games over the Blackhawks would give Colorado two more points and major bragging rights in this rivalry.

Blackhawks trying to regain offensive prowess

Coming into this game, the Blackhawks are scoring 3.35 goals-per-game, but have played with some offensive inconsistency of late. Marion Hossa will miss a fourth straight game with an injury to his upper body when the Blackhawks visit the Avalanche tonight. Chicago has won two straight games following a loss last week to the Avalanche, their third in four games. Goalie Corey Crawford is 0-4-2 with a GAA of 4.38 in his last six games against Colorado.

Even though these are two of the most potent offenses in the league, we think this will be a low scoring affair on Wednesday night when the Avalanche host the Blackhawks due to Chicago’s offensive struggles right now. We will drop 15 percent of our bankroll on Colorado with the UNDER 5.5 total goals scored at -105 on Wednesday night over at the online sportsbook found at TopBet.eu. This is just one of four games on the schedule tonight, so enjoy this Western Conference contest.
